Olive Oil Reduces Risk of Dying from Dementia

A Harvard study found that people who consume about one-and-a-half teaspoons of olive oil daily may lower their risk of dying from dementia by an incredible 28% compared to those who rarely or never include olive oil in their diet. Those who consumed more olive oil had a lower risk of dying from dementia, regardless of their diet.

The 28-year study included more than 92,000 participants who were healthcare professionals and was the first to investigate whether the Mediterranean diet staple is linked to risk of death from the disease, says CNN. The respondents recorded how frequently they used olive oil in salad dressings and foods. A physician reviewed the death certificates of the participants who died during the study period and determined that 4,751 of the study subjects died of dementia, says The Washington Post.

Interestingly, even the participants who carried the APOE e4 gene, the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease, also benefited from daily doses of olive oil. Carriers of the gene are five to nine times more likely than noncarriers to die from dementia,
